The '''Old Amber''' (Japanese: '''ひみつのコハク''' ''Secret Amber'') is a [[key item]] [[fossil]] from the [[Generation I]] games, their [[Generation III]] remakes. It can also be found in all games from [[Generation IV]] and beyond, where it is no longer a key item.

The '''Old Amber''' (Japanese: '''ひみつのコハク''' ''Secret Amber'') is a [[fossil]] which can be regenerated into {{p|Aerodactyl}}.


In the Generation I and III games, Old Amber can be obtained in a back room of the [[Pewter Museum of Science]]. The [[HM]] for {{m|Cut}} is needed to get there, as a bush blocks it off. It is given to the {{player|main character}} by one of the scientists working there. If brought to the laboratory on [[Cinnabar Island]], the Old Amber can be regenerated into an {{p|Aerodactyl}}.
The Old Amber is different than the other fossils, being a type of fossilized substance rather than a fossil named by its appearance; however, the Aerodactyl skeleton in Pewter City Museum implies that it does have its own fossilized remains.


In {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, it can be found by mining in [[the Underground]] after obtaining the National Pokédex. If brought to the Mining Museum in [[Oreburgh City]], the Old Amber can be regenerated into an {{p|Aerodactyl}}.
==In the games==
In the Generation I and III games, Old Amber is obtained in a back room of the [[Pewter Museum of Science]], from one of the scientists, who believes that it could be resurrected. {{m|Cut}} is required too access the room, as it is blocked by a cuttable tree. It is given to the {{player}} by one of the scientists working there. If brought to the [[Pokémon Lab]] on [[Cinnabar Island]], Old Amber can be regenerated into an {{p|Aerodactyl}}.


In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, Old Amber can be found randomly by {{m|Rock Smash|smashing rocks}} at the Ruins of Alph, and revived at the [[Pewter Museum of Science]].
In {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, it can be found by mining in [[the Underground]] after obtaining the National Pokédex. If brought to the [[Oreburgh Mining Museum]], Old Amber can be regenerated into an {{p|Aerodactyl}}.


In [[Pokémon Black and White]], Old Amber can be found by talking to a Worker outside the [[Ice Rock]] room in [[Twist Mountain]] who offers a different fossil once per day.
In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, Old Amber can be found randomly by {{m|Rock Smash|smashing rocks}} at the [[Ruins of Alph]]. If brought to the [[Pewter Museum of Science]], Old Amber can be regenerated into an {{p|Aerodactyl}}.


The Old Amber is different than the other fossils, being a type of fossilized substance rather than a fossil named by its appearance (However, the Aerodactyl skeleton in Pewter City Museum implies that it does have its own fossilized remains). It is possibly inspired by {{wp|Jurassic Park}}, in which genetic engineers extracted dinosaur DNA from mosquitoes trapped in amber and used it to recreate dinosaurs.
In {{2v2|Black|White}}, a {{tc|Worker}} in the [[Ice Rock]] room of [[Twist Mountain]] hands out a random fossil from previous generations, including Old Amber, once per day. If brought to the [[Nacrene Gym|Nacrene Museum]], Old Amber can be regenerated into an {{p|Aerodactyl}}.
